Talk about being a morning person.

There were many rules to follow when I was in elementary school. I had to get to school by a certain time, and write a book report every day. So it became convenient to get my chores out of the way in advance. I started waking up early to get things done. Now, getting up early has become a habit.

I saw a TV program about a lawyer who gets the day started at 4:30 each morning. The lawyer said that he drinks tea, listens to music, and writes down his thoughts in the morning. He said the reason was that there were fun TV shows at night and he wanted to spend time with his family. The mornings were his only chance for some alone time.

I could really relate to those words. Whenever I put off doing things until the evening, I usually can't finish everything I planned. Having some time to myself early in the morning when everyone else still asleep is the way to go for a more productive day.

What time do you usually get out of bed in the morning?

I set my alarm for 5:30 AM.

You get up really early.

Yeah. I wake up early to make the most of the early morning hours.

I see.

I feel less rushed during the day if I get a head start in the morning.
